Once, when she was two, my wife and I got into an argument, as you do. It was one of those angry wh<\/em><em>isper arguments because we didn&#8217;t want to wake our daughter up in the next room. We went to bed angry, woke up the next day angry and not speaking to each other, but continued getting ready for our respective days.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em>As I&#8217;m brushing my teeth in the bathroom, who should come in but my 2 year old. I say morning, she doesn&#8217;t say anything, but she takes my hand and leads me out of the bathroom.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em>My daughter leads me into her room where my wife is getting my daughter&#8217;s things together for daycare. She bring me as physically close as possible to my wife, then she taps my wife&#8217;s leg. So there were are, the three of us, awkwardly staring at each other. My wife and I look at our daughter and ask if there&#8217;s a reason she orchestrated all of this, and she looks at us\u2026and then turns around and walks out of the room. And closes the door behind us. Apparently she was like &#8220;&#8216;Look, imma y&#8217;all two need to work some stuff out, alright? I ain&#8217;t got the time for your shenanigans today.&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em>Right now, my Jews, we are all my wife and I in that story. And this rally today is the room we&#8217;ve been brought into.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em>We have Jews from the right and the left, with very different ideas on the sources and causes of antisemitism. We have Jews of color, who are often dismayed that the discussion of race around antisemitic attacks too often devolves into racism, traumatizing us repeatedly as we&#8217;re simply standing with our fellow Jews, regardless of race or ethnicity.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em>But we are all here because antisemitism is an evil that does not differentiate between Reform or Conservative, between left or right, or between black or white. And to have any chance of beating it, we must do it together, in solidarity with both our full, diverse Jewish community with whom we share a faith and a peoplehood AND the non-Jewish communities with whom we share our neighborhoods, our streets, and our subways.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em>That is the solidarity that will truly keep us safe.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em>But if we expect those in other communities to address their antisemitism and their bigotry\u2014as they should\u2014then we need to be addressing harmful attitudes in our own communities too. Not because it&#8217;s the reason for anti-semitism, but because it&#8217;s equally as morally wrong.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em>At the same time, if we are asking for solidarity from the broader community, we must also be in solidarity with the issues that impact other communities as well. And since we as Jewish community are black, white, and indigenous; able-bodied and differently abled; rich, poor, and middle class; gay, straight, and trans, all those other issues affect us too. There is no issue that doesn&#8217;t somehow impact some community of our Jewish family because our families are nearly as diverse as America itself.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em>These are difficult conversations, and the moment demands they be had. But we can neither let these conversations become apologetics for terror, or devolve into racist tirades. No community\u2014Jewish, black, immigrant, Muslim\u2014should have to endure attacks against its existence. Ever.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em>Together, let&#8217;s all work towards eradicating those words and deeds of hatred, violence, and fear. Our safety lies not only in our solidarity within our Jewish community, but outside of it as well.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/span><span style=\"color: #e9947f;\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mochajuden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/nohate.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5974 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/mochajuden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/nohate.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"321\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mochajuden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/nohate.png 730w, https:\/\/mochajuden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/nohate-300x196.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 321px) 100vw, 321px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, January 5, 2020 thousands of Jews and no-Jews marched across the Brooklyn Bridge in a show of cross-faith unity after a string of bloody anti-Semitic attacks in the region.
